Let's be honest, the people that really loved Pokemon for years were given an ultimatum when Gen 5 came out: keep playing, and accept completely new game dynamics, or don't and leave. A LOT of my friends and myself really miss blowing countless hours testing team combinations, following a changing metagame, and bull****ting about this dynamic and complex system at a cheap food joint or late at night on AIM or whatever.It's just really disappointing to me to see somebody I respected three years ago has gone onto become one of the ****tiest posters in this entire subforum (and in the PC that's really saying a lot).
Pretty much everyone I know at this point besides myself has caved into at least trying gen 5, only to be inevitably disappointed. It's just this perpetual hole that cannot be filled. Don't get me wrong, it's not graceful in any way, but that's just how it is. You can see how most players have voted on the ultimatum if you compare this forum's activity level to how it was in 2009. I guess I just want to tell you that your disappointment is shared by many, many people, but maybe for different reasons.
